Ultimately that aspect comes down to the execution for the LitRPG mechanics and how they are integrated (as far as whether I prefer JRPG, or Western RPG approaches). Personally, though, I tend toward the mechanics that are integrated more in the background and apply to everyone in the world...

I already asked something like this for the readers, but this one here's for all you authors out there. What are some of your favorite openings to write for your stories? Do you prefer writing In Media Res openings (IE: Starting in the action or in the moment)? Or perhaps something slower, where...

When reading a story, book, or the like, what are some of your favorite styles of openers? In Media Res (In the thick of the action)? Slow Introductions (You wake meet up in the tavern)? Or some other kind of opening? Personally, I tend to favor the 'In Media Res' style of opening, but a...

Chapter 1 of my story; Aethara: The King's Path just released today. If you're interested in Isekai style stories with LitRPG elements it may be perfect for you. I'd welcome, and respond to, any and all comments and feedback as well.

I'd pilot one of the following: Genosaur Gunsniper Lightning Saix Storm Sworder And yes. I remember the series. A few of my friends and I were working collaboratively on a fan-fiction for it. (I don't know where they're at with it these days, but I did submit a few character designs for it).

If you're looking for other (external) stuff, definitely check out Erin M. Evans' Brimstone Angels Series (Brimstone Angels, BA: Lesser Evils, The Adversary, Fire in the Blood, Ashes of the Tyrant, and The Devil you Know), Empire of Exiles, and Relics of Ruin. These are all great novels, and...

I've just released the first chapter of Aethara: The King's Path today, so here's the discussion thread for it. I would like to note though, that the Prelude and Chapter 1 are meant to be read together, so if you haven't read the prelude yet, please give it a quick run-through first. Otherwise...

I've just released the first chapter of Aethara earlier today, and would really appreciate some feedback on the prelude and opening chapter. Likes? Dislikes? And most importantly, Why? (Why do you like it? / Why do you dislike it?) Full critiques, reviews, and ratings are always welcome. Your...

I've finished the first editing pass on Aethara: The King's Path Chapter 1. It's sitting neatly at just under 6000 words, and should be going live on ScribbleHub tomorrow, after I finish another quick read-through. Those who want an early peek can find the updated chapter in the manuscript...

Honestly, no images/pictures is my preference for novels. Let the work speak for itself, and stand on its own merits as a piece of literature. If it's written well enough, it won't need the visuals. After all, if I wanted the pictures in my stories, I'd read manga/graphic novels, comics, watch...

I'd go for two or three total. First: Dueling Saber, with a Cross-guard hilt. Opalescent Silver Second: Standard Lightsaber with a basket hilt. Vibrant Amethyst Purple Third: Shoto Lightsaber, Broad-Bladed with a jeweled hilt (Reminiscent of a Roman Gladius). As for the color, depends, but I'd...

Ultimately, it depends on the story overall, and the themes you're presenting and exploring here. Any, and all, of them can be presented to be narratively satisfying as long as they fit within the context of the ongoing story or world that you've built. Personally, though, as long as the...

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess... Professor?"

If you're referring to "Heavn's" in the opening verse, that's not a spelling mistake. It's an intentional lyrical representation of the opening poetic verse in the note.

You were living a rather mundane life, until a mysterious letter arrived inexplicably at your home. Within the letter, was an old, well-worn and used map, a neatly folded note, and a single golden ring. The note within the letter reads as follows: Where the journey shall take you from here...

Well... that doesn't look like any of the typical bot-spam message I've seen, so I'd rule out bot. With that in mind, I'd just ignore it, or simply reply with a "No. Do it yourself if you want it that bad." unless I were in the mood to troll them a bit.

Whatever works for your story. You're the one who knows the scene, and where you want things to go from there. That said, I've got one little quote for ya that might add some fuel to your proverbial creative fires. Hope it helps.

In a different thread, yes. In this one, I'm talking about the dedications page that you'll typically find in most published (print) books; where the author leaves a message dedicating the book, usually to a person in their life).

I'm not up to that part yet, but here's an idea. Invert the scene. Throw a major curveball in there. Use the scene to introduce a major antagonist, and have the protagonist (and company) lose. Badly. So much so that they have to retreat just to survive. (This kind of thing isn't done nearly...
